Sending post request with post_form

Basically I have a controller with this:

@lang = params[‘lang’] || ‘en’
@errors = request.raw_post
@feed_stats =
Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(“http://www.google.com/tbproxy/spell?lang=

  • @lang), @errors)
    render :text => @feed_stats

However whenever I run this I get an error message:
undefined method `post_form’ for Net::HTTP:Class

I’ve included
require ‘net/http’
require ‘uri’
in my enviroment.rb

can anyone help?

post_form is in ruby 1.8.4 and not in 1.8.2 So to get that method you
need to upgrade your ruby install. This hjas come up a few times
because the docs got cross pollenated to look like post_form is in
1.8.2 but it is not.
